Operating Revenue Rises By 4 Times To INR 1,195 Million In Q1FY22 (YoY)

Commenting on the performance, Aryan Goyal, Founder and CEO of the Company, said, "Our brands - Dr Trust, Dr Physio and Trumom have grown exceptionally over the past few years and now enjoy higher credibility and pull on all the digital channels. We were able to grow a large loyal customer base in a relatively short period of time as a result of our focused marketing strategy, exceptional product quality and better features compared to other players.

During the last year, we witnessed acceleration in consumers demand shifting from offline channels to online channel which is very positive for Nureca which is solely focused on digital sales channel.

Nureca has been able to capitalize on this trend and our Q1FY22 results are a testament of the same. We saw a very strong growth in Q1 due to robust demand for quality preventive healthcare products supported by shifting consumer demand and restricted movements due to lockdown. Higher demand also resulted in lower discounts and better margins.

We expect the growth momentum to continue in coming quarters supported by strong demand, new product launches and improved last mile reach."

Commenting on the performance, Saurabh Goyal, Managing Director of the Company, said, "Over the last decade, rising income and standard of living has led to increase in lifestyle related chronic diseases. Although, advancement in medical technology has made it possible to treat these chronic diseases, it remains very expensive for most Indians. This has led to higher consumer awareness around preventive care. At Nureca, we are investing in technology and tools that make effective and affordable remote patient monitoring more accessible to Indians. Our state-of-the-art, USFDA approved products are designed to help patients monitor their health in the comfortable environment of their home. We are investing in value added technologies which will empower Indians to take control of their health and improve their longevity of life.

The evolving trend of health-conscious India has also benefited the nutraceutical sector, which has been growing at a CAGR of 21%. Exercise, a balanced diet, and the use of nutritional supplements have all become part of a healthy lifestyle. The average urban and semi-urban Indian is growing increasingly health and fitness conscious. This presents India's nutraceuticals industry a huge growth opportunity. To cater to the increasing demand, we have introduced a range of niche supplements, backed by scientifically proven ingredients. Going forward, we will continue to add more products in this category."
